How do you figure out when teams are arriving early in the morning to their next destination?

Every once in awhile, I see threads talking about how Team X didn't leave their last city until close to 1:00AM and had to fly 3 hours to their next destination and didn't get in until 4:00 AM.

How do you figure this out?

The few times I've seen it, the people advocating fading the team that had a hellacious commute to their next game have done well.

Sometimes people even have information on exactly which flight a team took, what time it left, when it landed, etc. It's pretty impressive! How do you figure this out?

Thanks for weighing in, guys who know about this stuff!

People trip me out putting a little too much weight on this factor. They act like people have never slept on a plane or bus, etc. during a commute.

It is not ideal, but how much off is a professional or high-level college athlete going to be?

I guess you would figure it out be looking at the next opponent, and researching the travel times, etc.

As Mad Tiger stated, look at where a team is playing and then when and where there next game is.

Look how quickly or how late a game runs. In baseball this is an overrated issue, as starting pitchers arrive in the other city the day before the rest of the team.
